Declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress, passed June 7 th 1832.
State of North Carolina Orange County 3 rd Off.
On this the 31 st day of May A.D. 1833. personally appeared in open court, before the Court of Pleas & Quarter Sessions for the County aforesaid, sitting as a Court of Record & now sitting, William Dolear, of the County & State aforesaid, aged about 70 years, as he believes, who being first duly sworn according to Law, doth on his oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the bene- fit of the Act of Congress passed June 7 th 1832.
That he entered the service of the United States under the following named Officers And served as herein stated.
The declarant was drafted as a private in the Militia of N.C. for some certain term of service, but for what term he cannot re- member for his life. He was drafted in Orange County, N.C. in the year 1780, as he believes; and was attached to a company, commanded by Capt Abram Allen, who was Captain of a Company of Light Horse. Capt Allen con- ducted declarant about a days ride from Hillsboro' N.C. into the W. of the State of Virginia.

into Pittsylvania  Halifax County, Va. a, he believes, & placed him in a Blacksmith's shop in that County, to work at the business of a Blacksmith for the benefit  service of the United States - the declarant being a Blacksmith by trade. The declarant was to work at that business during the term of  for eight months, which he had been drafted, as he supposes, in lieu of service in the ranks. The declarant did work eight months as a Blacksmith under the engagement aforesaid for the United States, in Pittsylvania aforesaid with an uncle of the declarant, by the name of Ambrose Dollar in making Hors, Axes, Mattocks, ironing Waggon sets & forging chains &c. for the use of the Army. After having faithfully laboured as aforesaid for eight months, the declarant returned home, & was not engaged further in the service of the United States. He did not receive a written discharge. He was not acquainted with any of the Officers of the Army, except Capt Allen aforesaid and Col Lytle of Pulaski: He hath no documentary evidence of his service - nor can he prove his service aforesaid except by his Brothers Elijah Dollar, his own oath &

reputation of his neighborhood, & the credi- bility of his character. -
He was born in Orange County on the River in North Carolina - in the year 1762, as he supposes. He hath no record of his age. He was living in Orange at the time when he was drafted, & has the war since resided there. He is known to John Riley and Benjamin Carroll
who reside in his County & neighbor- hood. He hereby acknowledges, wrong claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency of any State. He declares with honesty and veracity to procure the attendance of a Clergyman to testify to his character, but hath failed to do so. I cannot now do so. -
Sworn to & subscribed William Dollar John Riley Clergyman and Benjamin Carroll
residents of the County of Orange & State of North Carolina, hereby certify that we are acquainted with William Dollar, who hath subscribed & sworn to the above declaration; that we believe him to be about 70 years old; that he is reputed & believed in the neighbor- hood where he resides to have served the United States, as a Blacksmith, in the war of the rebellion; & that we concur in that opinion; and that the said William Dollar is a

Hon. J. L. Edwards Commissioner of Pensions Washington City

Millsboro' A. C. Aug 26 th 1850
Dear Sir
There is an old man, in this county, by the name of William Dollar, who is a Revolutionary Soldier, and who draws a pension under the act of 1832. But he only gets twenty six dollars and sixty six cents per annum. I cannot learn anything about his service and the like. But he deserves me to write to you and if possible have his pension increased. and as all the witnesses are dead, there can be no information obtained except what is filed in your office. His certificate bears date at the War Office March 8 th 1834. signed by Sewleight and examined & countersigned by yourself. It is numbered in words and figures as follows 23 60 9- and recorded in the Pension Office in Book E. Vol 6. p. page 57. If after examination you are of opinion that he is entitled to receive a larger sum, please give me the necessary directions to accomplish it.
Have you ever laid Mrs Browning's case before Congress? as I requested: for I think it a very hard one; as it is utterly impossible to furnish the proof required.
Hon S. L. Edwards Washington City
I am very Respectfully &c. Thomas Webb
